It is the Cakewich. The most evil cake ever created. Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in Hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzebub. Slathered with frosting beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken, force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one-eyed madman!

I will give the lady credit: before this happened I didn't know that discrimination laws protected customers, too. Well, depending on the state. I seriously doubt businesses here in SC would get sued by the state for not serving "undesirables."

Previously I'd always thought that massive public shaming would work on its own.

I think I'd just take my business elsewhere. So how long now has this guy been running their lives? Oh, for a year now, and they're not done yet. it must be nice to have the luxury of being outraged for that long. But I have a life of my own to take care of.

iheartscotch:I'm all for any business to refuse service; but, these guys did it the wrong way. Should have said that they were booked solid and couldn't possibly make another cake.

That may have worked but you know how some folks like to play the victim. The couple could have went home and called the bakery posing as a straight couple and then GOTCHA! The bakery owner was farked once he unlocked the door that morning.

So a lady is forced to do something against her will in a supposedly free society, and some people call this progress. I call it tyranny, and while I personally disagree with her position, I do think she should have the right to run her business as she sees fit.

decided that discrimination is an expression of faith

Come on, hundreds of non-bigoted bakers are not being sued right right now.

Someone is forcing this lady to run a cake business? Shiat, I missed that part of the article.

They are free not to run the business. Don't want to follow business regulations? Don't go into business for yourself.

While I think the bakery is retarded, this is pretty stupid. It is a farking wedding cake. If the bakery had "messed up" the order and made it a man and woman on the cake, would it still be illegal? If so, are screwups then illegal?

They are forcing her to serve people she doesn't want to serve, or they're forcing her out of business. Yes - there is force involved, and that's a problem in a free society.
